THE NATIONAL BANKS.
There are now necessary only two more
calls of $4,000, 900 eachIto extinguish the
3 per cent. government debt In all prob
ability, the last of these calls will
mature in July, and there will
be left outstanding only the 4 per
cents of 1907, II per cents. OF 1891,
and the smaller per cent. loan of
1869. The next session of Congress,
therefore, will undoubtedly find the ma
tionaI bank circulation reduced to very
low minimum; for comparatively small
amount OF the ID per cents are held by
the banks, while OF the per cents there
are deposited less than $4,000, 900, au-
thOriZjng circulation of only
SlOl, 100000. At any rate this
will be the extent of the bank
circulation after 1891, or more prob
ably the total will be still smaller, as the
banks, in default of further legislation,
will be apt to surrender even their long
term four cents. at the anticipated
higher market rate. Unless, therefore,
the next Congress takes some action in
the matter, the bank note currency will
before many years be practically thing

SILVER NOTES.
What is needed to give silver the elastic
ity necessary as basis for note circula-
ton is for the government to Issue Ger
titiCates against the equivalent of the sill
yer dollar as represented in the deposits
of bullion. For example, the silver
dollar contains 4I24 grains silver 900
fine, but to get that amount of coined
silver a gold dollar has to be given
in exchange. Let the government issue
coin certificates against private deposits
of silver, giving a dollar certificate for
every 4I29 grains 900 fine, or mu,tiples
thereof, redeemable in standard dollars,
and then coin only dollars enough for re-
demptiOn purposes. No better currency
than this is required for al domestic eX
changes American Banker.
